Created WIKI Mar2017 purely to add the "new" IHG PB List URL as I can't find by screen navigation since IHG changed the reservation screens etc, and the old url if saved no longer works either.
Just got fed up trying to find , much easier to store in wiki, hope this helps others

Use this URL for "Live" PB Listing:
https://www.ihg.com/rewardsclub/content/us/en/redeem-rewards/pointbreaks.html
The PREVIEW list usually appears on IHG's blog first

Scored 2 nights at the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS & SUITES BENTON HARBOR. For people living in the Chicago area, this is actually a great cheap getaway. It's close to the Indiana Dunes, St. Joseph, and the SW Michigan wineries and breweries. For $30/night with a free breakfast, it's a steal.
Paid rates are around $200+ for summer weekends. This is the most expensive time of the year for that area, and I'm a little surprised that the hotel is on pointbreaks.

Remember, in order to book 2 rooms using points you have to make 2 separate bookings.

Can you feed back after your stay as to what it was like? I will be in Porto for 3 days in June, and I managed to book 2 rooms without any problem, the 2nd room being for the person travelling with me.

EDIT: I just saw that there is a bus to get to town in 20 minutes instead of the metro.

Just interested in what the hotel is like, generally, whether it is clean, decent, friendly and pleasant to stay in. The reviews at IHG itself generally seem pretty good, but I don't really trust their review service. Also, if the hotel is in a truly awful area (which looks like it might be) I am prepared to chuck it in and book something closer to downtown. I am planning on having a rental car. If you do that, watch out because there seem to be loads of toll roads around OPO airport.

Its apparently getting better these days but a 20-30 year negative impression is not reversed overnight

I just booked St John's, Newfoundland. I'm doing a road trip there in July so this was perfect.

IHG site is kicking me out of bookings, and viewing my upcomings. I need to go in and cancel something so I can do P&C.
Can the strain of a PB plus "Sunshine Sale" (What is that?) plus P&C be too much for their IT to handle? Not confidence inspiring. If so, I'm surprised that so many people are going at it this late in the day. Usually gets hit much earlier?
I wonder why Krabi stayed open well into the afternoon? Grabbed a week, but I really had thought about August as my trip. We'll see.
Last PB in January went live just as my flight was boarding, and they were shooing me out of the lounge -- Run, run, RUN! I was the last one onboard, but I got my Siloms. By the time I logged in again, the sequence was broken up into sporadic nights.
No, this one was not a rich one for my aspirational tripping, but it may get me through a trip in the Northeast. A little out of my way, but the past year has been a case of right country-wrong city I did not want to venture off to. When PB has hit for me in the past, it's been golden.

Amazingly enough, I actually needed a night in Delano, CA tonight. Nabbed it as soon as it went live and here I am.
What a dump. Both the town and this property. The extra lock on my room is literally attached by a screw. I put my chair against the door.
If anyone needs to stay here for some reason, the pizza place right across the street (Magoo's) is pretty tasty with some great happy hour specials. Loaded small pizza and 20 oz. beer for about $10.
Hopefully, this is my last night in Delano, ever.
